I'd like to add my voice to the argument in this thread. Hyouka is being pretty overhyped. It's decent, but there's a lot much better things to choose from this season as they stand right now.

Hee. Nyarko-san is awesomesauce.

Mysterious Girlfriend X: Now with yuri! It keeps getting better and better!

My friend (who is a big fan) made me watch some Saki. Unfortunately, it turns out that Saki is one of the most laughably bad anime I've ever seen. I took pleasure in telling my friend so. In response, he took pleasure in turning up the volume and locking his keyboard.

Started on Sankarea. It's pretty interesting. I hope it won't take me too long to catch up.

As a final thing, not anime (but hey! The manga section sucks) but this is a good a place as any to say this, OH MY GOD SHAMAN KING: FLOWERS HAS STARTED THIS IS A GLORIOUS OCCASION FOR ALL HUMANITY. Ahem.

I'm amazed you made it past episode 2 for Zetman.

As for Shaman King: Flowers, hell yeah! Also the new Ruronin Kenshin starting up soon. This a glorious month for anime and manga.

Come to think of it I think I agree that Clannad had a stronger first two episodes. It establishes the majority of the characters in the series and Tomoya's daily life really well. There's good humor, dramatic hints of what's to come, and it only takes one scene to set up how close Nagisa is to her family. In Hyouka's first two episodes it seems that it has shown less focus on all the characters (with the smaller cast and all) but tries to draw in the audience with the mysteries it has/is going to have later. Oreki and Chitanda both have a firm hold on my interest, but the other two haven't made that sort of impression. Oreki's laziness is akin to Tomoya's dislike of his father, at the two episode mark we don't know what the real cause of it is yet. The ending of episode 2 in both cases have cliffhangers revolving the "main girl" of the series.

I gotta say, the first two episodes of Clannad had some really hilarious moment such as Tomoya telling the whole class that Kyou is a bi, lol, I actually laughed out loud on that scene. Not to mention how much better of a friendship Sunohara and Tomoya have in comparison to Oreki and Satoshi.

EDIT: Just watched episode 8 of Clannad.

Oh God, such a tearjerking episode. Poor Fuko ;_;

Episode 8 is always a tearjerker. Great to hear you're having a good time with Clannad, it's part of the reason why I love that studio so much.

Seeing as everyone else is dropping Zetman after episode 5 I'm not even going to bother.

Finished Chihayafuru. That's one of the best anime I've seen in a while. I grew really attached to the characters, even some of the minor ones. The writing was really well done. It's incredible how they can make something that seems for boring and make it so intense. And every single match was unique, which was mega-impressive. Not to mention this show has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.

Okay that was probably the most non-conclusive ending ever (like Kaiji) and I'm begging for more.

Same one I was talking about above, Chihayafuru. The quote was from a previous conversation in this thread about the ending, but that was before I saw it.

You should really check it out, it's sorta reminiscent of Kaiji but not dark at all.

But that's part of what made Kaiji a blast (and #2 on my top 10 list). I'll give it a look tonight.

Nyarko-san: Another Crawling Chaos - 3

What a wonderful panty shot. Then there was the quote from Fullmetal Alchemist. Also love the continuing Pokemon reference.

Chihayafuru - 1

I am loving the realism in the series (bar the hair colours). It's really different, feels incredibly realistic. Whether I'll continue it or not is another question, I don't find it grabbed enough of my attention.

Glad you're giving the show a shot. And yes, it's incredibly realistic the entire way through, even though it isn't the most attention grabbing of shows.

Yes, now you can sit here with the rest of us and pray that we get season 2.

Wait 'til you get to episode 4, in the immortal words of General Ackbar Spoiler:- It's a trap!:

Actually, I liked episode 2. It's after that when I started hating it. Oh, and I think I will always love its inappropriately funky OP, regardless of the badness of the show attached.

I don't know if I can agree or not as I haven't read the manga (I dislike the show entirely on its own merits) but if it's halfway decent then I guess 'rape' could legitimately be called. The main reason I reply is that I vehemently object to your choice of example.

This post is mildly depressing.

Naturally. Season 2 WILL happen. Otherwise, I am going to drink copious amounts of gin on a flight to Japan and then start murdering the moment I get off the plane. Or perhaps I'll just sulk. WHO CAN SAY FOR SURE?

finally watched an episode of sankarea. at first i was turned off (lol) because the dude had like, cat hear shaped hair, but i got over it. im almost up to date with the latest airing episodes now.

its not too bad. it definitely feels like it has more potential than dusk maiden of amnesia. but the whole story itself is interesting, but kinda makes it a little...volatile. im worried its gonna go full retard eventually.

ps. we're in the express lane to necrophilia-ville.
pps. finished ep. 5. i like where this is going.
